Police Reserve Officer Program

The Police Reserve Officer Program (PROP) consists of part-time certified reserve officers who support the Miami Gardens Police Department (MGPD) by providing additional manpower during emergencies, special events, and other situations that may affect the Department's ability to deliver essential public safety services. A part-time law enforcement officer is defined as any person employed or appointed less than full timewhether compensated or notwho is vested with authority to bear arms and make arrests, and whose primary responsibility is the prevention and detection of crime or enforcement of State laws. The program enhances community engagement, expands available police resources, and encourages citizen participation in law enforcement operations.

Selection criteria for Police Reserve Officers are identical to those used for full-time Police Officers. In coordination with the Human Resources Department, the PROP Coordinator manages the screening and evaluation of reserve officer candidates to ensure compliance with MGPD and Florida Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission (CJSTC) requirements.

Reserve Officers serve at the discretion of the Chief of Police and may be released from service at any time for non-discriminatory reasons deemed in the best interest of the Department.
